SKP to OBJ
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the SKP and OBJ interoperability and exchange that can help you with the SKP to OBJ conversion.

SKP SketchUp File
SKP (SketchUp) file format for a long period of time was maintained by Google, but currently it is actively developed by Trimble company. The SKP file allows to store reusable geometry component instances, named mesh groups and materials with texture images. It's important to note that the Win32 build is no longer available from the SKP file version 16 onwards. Therefore, it is recommended to use the Win64 build to convert the most recent SketchUp models. With the Autoconverter software you can save SKP files to any file version you require, from the early SKP version 3 to the recent 2022.
OBJ File
OBJ (Alias Wavefront Object) is a text-based file format for 3D geometry objects which is very popular and widely supported by many 3D software programs. The OBJ file format is capable of storing named group objects, surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, and quads or triangles as geometry primitives. However, our Autoconverter software will simplify every OBJ quad primitive with two triangles as only triangular facets are supported during the OBJ file conversion. It's important to mention that due to a textual format OBJ files will always be much bigger than the binary files, for example 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp).
